Now, does having the third most AFC championships make the Broncos a legendary team? Dunno about that, but I'd say it shows they have been one of the top 5 teams in the AFC. Throwing in the Bills AFC championships into the mix, then you have 6 teams with 36 of the 46 Super Bowl appearances.

As far as winning the big game, yes Denver didn't get it done before '97, but they still had an incredible amount of success in the conference.
